nucci Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 True, but Brickley is a much bigger douchebag on NESN than he is on Versus. On Versus he tones it down and generally calls it more down the middle - on NESN he's one step away from putting a bounty on Sabres' heads for the tiniest of infractions. When he is paired with NESN PbP announcer (and ESPN washout) Jack Edwards they sound like a couple hysterical little girls crying about every time a Bruin is touched. I was just going to say that. On VS he is not bad and actually calls a decent game. On NESN, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Rain Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Personally, I'm thankful for Versus. Living out of town it's a rare opportunity to see the Sabres play. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah my favorite, Andy "In the 'new' NHL tripping is a penalty" Brickley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 My prediction for tonight- Sabres 4, Boston 1. Goals: Roy, Pominville, Sekera and Afinogenov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC Sabres Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 My prediction for tonight- Sabres 4, Boston 1. Goals: Roy, Pominville, Sekera and Afinogenov. 4 is a big number for either team. I'm gonna say Sabres 2 Boston 1. Would give Miller the SO but I feel he's gonna be taking some tough shots tonight. Brian Engblom either needs to get a new hair piece or shave his head. Cuz that's some F'd up hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Ellis had a golden shorthanded opportunity... He has to bury that... Remind me again who played last night.... Getting beat to all pucks and are badly being outshot early in the 1st.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Sabres need to do something to change the momentum of this game... This is completely one-sided so far.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC Sabres Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Not a good start offensively. The best line seems to be Ellis, Peters and Kaleta in terms of breaking into Boston territory. Hope that changes soon. A little to Defensive like someone posted early, forget who it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarasotaSabre Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm sure Lindy is seething about the early "performance" of the Sabres... I hope he lays into them in the room. These slow starts just uncalled for. Could the VS announcer have said it one more time - how much the Sabres got outworked?.....Pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Miller looks very sharp -- nice save on a close in redirect and he covered up for Tallinder's turnover. But damn we allow more goals from the blue line than any other team the last few seasons. Sabres got it going a little towards the end. Reading their press clippings maybe?

PASabreFan Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 They are still 0 and 0 for comments about Crosby and OV. Still waiting........ Why do play by play guys have to say things like "downstairs" instead of "the corner" and "bid" instead of "shot." Makes me appreciate the simplicity of Jeanneret. And does every call have to have a "who" added onto it? In the corner, it's Numminen, who had heart surgery last year. The pass to Chara, who rolls five Yahtzees on the plane to Buffalo. Too much information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Rain Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Thankfully most of the Bruins shots were right into Miller's body. So which team played into overtime last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwcolour Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Y eah we could be down by 2 or 3 easily if not for Miller. Hopefully that little burst at the end wakes them up and they can get going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawerchuk Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 OK, I know he plays for Boston, but why all the boo's for Chara everytime he gets the puck? Because he was a former Ottawa dirtbag? I don't recall a dirty hit he had on any Sabre in the past? Also, the Sabres drafted Wideman right? How did they let him get away, or was he traded?
